Extreme Ironing
This 'sport' (I guess you would call it a sport), I first heard about when I was a teenager, and it recently came to mind while I was, well um...ironing.
Basically, people take ironing boards, an article of clothes, and of course an iron, to extreme places all over the world. This includes mountain tops, underwater caves, swamps, deserts, and other silly places. The rule seems to be that they have to actually press the clothes, or at least mimic it, in the most precarious situations.
Most people would think these people are complete losers, but I want to warn you not to be condescending on this one...I'd like to see your broke ass afford to do something like this.
Not sure if you enjoy this sport, but I think its hilarious and that's all that matters.
The official website for them is ExtremeIroning.com
but to get the best compilation of pictures, check out this out.

That. Is. Great.
Where ever do you come up with this stuff, Mr. C?
Thanks lopez! I get it from the wacky life I live.
Now that's my kind of extreme sport! haha
Mind you, I loathe ironing!
I had no idea I was caught on camera. I was just ironing a shirt ready for work after a fine morning's sail.
Those were some awesome pics on the coolpic site. Had to look twice at the -unicycle- iron-ers - what a balancing act!
Call me when they start ironing while fighting a bear that's on fire. Otherwise, this isn't xtreme anything.
Haha, I hope that moron in the hot tub realizes that no on else has theirs plugged in...
Mental note: I need to devise a way to be the first guy to do an ironing backflip. Now do I use a trampoline, or an ATV?
Stelly, good observation!
How funny!
And convenient.
I always hate it when my clothes get wrinkled at the bottom of the ocean.
This is one of the most awesome things I've ever heard of.
janna, you just made me laugh.
Personally, I find any ironing extreme...
One question. Why? Just........Why? Perhaps some wrinkle free Dockers would work.
You're right, i only WISH i could afford to be that financially set that I was THAT bored to join the "iron man" team....LOL
I have enough trouble ironing in a normal setting. If I'm not burning my hand and calling the iron a bastard, it's not a normal day. Also, no matter how many times I press that damn steam button, I can never get all the wrinkles out.
I guess the point is...I suck at life...and if those people want extreme, they should come use my bastard iron.
That word is a four letter word in my household.. I don't even own one!
How ironic, sorry...
some folks are just strange, eh?
New to your site. Loved this post. I have never heard of extreme ironing before today!
Thanks for making me laugh!
